Anyone live in Pennsylvania?

I would love to take a trip to Pennsylvania when the kids are young. There seems like there are so many great museums. I would love to take them to Sesame Place, Crayola, Hershey, Touch Museum. Is anyone familiar with these museums? Are they worth a family vacation to hit them all?

 TIA!

    I don't live in PA now but I grew up there and my parents are still there.  I've been to the Please Touch Museum and Sesame Place when I was young.  We took my DD last year when visiting my parents to the Please Touch Museum, she loved it.

    I'm from south Jersey, which is within a couple of hours of those places.  My favorite museum is the Franklin Institute, and I can't wait to take the kids there.  But my family is still in NJ, so that will only be a day trip.  In my opinion, none of the things you listed are so awesome or so unique that they are worth a trip all the way from Iowa.  If you make it part of a bigger trip, like say going to NYC or Washington DC, then it might be worth it.  But not just for those things.

    I grew up there and haven't been to those places since I was a kid but I will say that I can't wait to take my own kids! Hershey is fun but my favorite family park is actually Knoebels. This is because my grandma (who I lived with) could come becuase it's free to get into the park and you just pay to ride each ride or you can get a wristband for unlimited ride. She'd always get tickets to do the train with us and then we'd get the handstamps to do everything! very friendly with picnic areas and it use to be free parking..Sesame Place is fun for kids because they know the characters.. I also LOVED the Franklin Institute as a kid.. 

    Hope you get to go! It's beautiful there in fall too if you're going to do more museums and less parks... have fun!
